1080p 60Hz Build

[andy_castillo]

Hello! I'm thinking about building a gaming PC and play at 1080p 60Hz (include the monitor in the part list). What do you recommend?

I recommend you tell us your location and budget. 😉

I live in Dominican Republic, but buy for Amazon and really don't have a budget lol, just want to know the required components

I'm with Coozie7 on this one.

It's not terribly difficult to build a PC that can run games silky smooth at 1080p60, but it helps to know the budget that you're working with. Also, since prices are different based on where you live, it would help to know that also.

If all you need is a PC (if you already have a monitor and speakers), you could put something together for less than $1000. Are you interested in a lot of hard drive space or can you get away with a single solid state drive? If you left out a mechanical drive, you could save a lot of money that way too.

Did the same base build with a Ryzen R7 1700 and a GTX1070 but it's only<>$120 cheaper, considering the far superior performance of the Intel build, I'll pass on recommending you move down that far...Unless you determine otherwise.
